New Member with Mk1 Escort

Post by Palaeoboy » Mon 12 Apr 2021, 12:48

Hi, I just joined today and am the owner of a Mk1 Escort (More just a rolling Shell really). I have been reading the forum from afar for some time as I also have an interest in Capris but didnt think an Escort really qualified as a muscle car but I noticed you have helped others with Vin Plate decoding on Cortinas and Capris so I thought maybe someone here may also have similar knowledge regarding SA Mk1 Escorts.

I have sort of figured out parts of the codes already with the help of previous posts but one that has me stumped is the Engine code. It has an Engine Code "A". Im guessing that its either a 1100 or 1300 (No engine with car unfortunately) but I have seen others that are 1300 with the engine code "B". So I was swaying towards the car being an 1100 originally but you cannot always be sure as sometimes there are different spec Kent engines with different codes even though they have the same capacity. So I was wondering if anyone would have come across the list of Escort vin codes so I can determine what engine the car may have been originally. Many thanks for any help and allowing me to join your forum.
